James 2
1 My fellow believers, [because] you trust our Lord Jesus Christ, the one who is glorious/wonderful, stop honoring some people more than others.
Anu henu um kati incanti u inko iriba ugomo Asere unu su unice.
2 [For example], suppose that a person who wears gold rings and fine clothes enters your meeting place. Then suppose that a poor person who wears shabby/ragged clothes also comes in.
Inka uye maribe udenge udenge ubringara in bi coto ba zumo a balbal in turunga tiriri, unu dira ma ribe inturunga tizenzeng.
3 And [suppose] that you (show special attention to/treat better) the one who is dressed in fine clothes by saying, “Sit here in this good seat!” and you say to the poor one, “Stand there or sit on the floor [MTY]!”
Tidi inki iriba a hira una tirunga ti riri, ti gu, cukuno a hira ariri, “i gun una tirunga zenzen” tonno abirko, nani, cukuno adizi a hira atibuna tum.
4 Then you have obviously [RHQ] caused divisions in the congregation (OR, you are clearly treating one better than the others, and you are using evil [motives/reasons] to ([evaluate people/decide whether people are important or not])).
A zo usuu uni ce nini iwuza ace a shi me ni ba? Ya cukuno anu inko tize tini kubu?
5 Listen [to me], my fellow believers whom I love: God has chosen [RHQ] poor people whom [unbelievers consider to] possess nothing of value, [so that he might bless them] greatly [because] they trust [in him], and in order that they will enter the place where [he] will rule [MET] [forever]. That is what he has promised to those who love him.
Kunna ni, anu henu um, daki Asere a zauka unu dira unee ma cukuno unu kem Asere, makem uribe a nyimo Asere, unu suu ume?
6 But you dishonor the poor people. Think about it! (It is rich people, [not poor people], who are causing you to suffer!/Isn’t it rich people, [not poor people], who are oppressing you?) [RHQ] (It is [the rich people] who forcibly take you to court [to accuse you in front of judges]!/Is it not [the rich people] who forcibly take you to court [to accuse you in front of judges]?) [RHQ]
Shi ya wuza iriba ibit unu dira, azo anu kem wani wa hungu shi uhana udenge u inko utize ba?
7 (And they are the ones who say evil things about Jesus Christ, the one who is worthy [of praise], to whom you belong!/Are they not the ones who say evil things about Jesus Christ, the one who is worthy [of praise], to whom you belong?) [RHQ]
A zo we waniwadi cari niza nigino me sa a tisa shi inn nini ba?
8 In the Scriptures [God has commanded] each of you to love other people like you love yourself. That commandment was [also given] by [Jesus our] King [MTY]. If you [are loving others], you are doing what is right.
In anime inka ya mgwincika u inko utize tigino me ti ugomo Asere kasi ubuka utize ta Asere, “wuna usu uroni tura uwe kasi nice nuwe me”, ya wuza memerum.
9 But if you honor some people more than others, you are (doing wrong/sinning). And because you [do not do what God commanded us to do], he condemns you [PRS] because you disobey his laws.
In ka ya bezi usasas ya wuza madi ma ino me, tize tini kuba ta kem shi unnu cara abangani imum besa a buka shi.
10 Do not forget that those who disobey only one of God’s laws, even if they obey all [his other] laws, [God considers them] to be [as guilty as anyone who has disobeyed] all [of] God’s [laws].
Barki anime de sa ma kaba tize tini kubu, marizo, ma cukuno unu cara abanga ni.
11 For example, [God] said, “Do not commit adultery,” but he also said, “Do not murder anyone.” [So] if you [(sg)] do not commit adultery but you [(sg)] murder someone, you [(sg)] have become a person who disobeys [God’s] laws.
De sa ma guna, uda wuza imum ima dini nan na neh ba, ma kuri ma guna, “uda huna uye ba” inka da wa wuza imum izenzzen ba, wa wuza uhuna uni ce, wa cukuno unu cara utize ta Asere.
12 Continually speak and act [toward others] as people should who will be judged {whom [God] will judge} by the law that frees us [from being punished] {[God punishing us]} [for our sins].
AAne ani idi boo tize, ane ani idi kuri wuzi, kasi anu age sa adi wuzi tize tini kubu kasi tize tini kubu ti katuma.
13 [Speak and act like that], because when [God] judges us, he will not act mercifully toward those who do not act mercifully toward others. But when we [are] merciful [to others, we can rejoice], because [our being] merciful [shows] that [we are acting like people whom God] has mercifully saved from being judged (OR, [we can rejoice] because [God] will judge us mercifully).
Tize tini kubu tidira nice tini. A hira ade sa mada tuzo nice nume ba U hirza unice uwuza katuma nan tize tini kubu.
14 My fellow believers, [there are some people who say], “I believe [in the Lord Jesus Christ],” but they do not do good things [for other people]. (Their saying that will certainly not do them any good!/What good will their saying that do for them?) [RHQ] [God] will certainly not save [people like that who say that they believe, but do not do good things]! [RHQ]
In ka unu makaba tize ta Asere mada wuza katuma ba nyanini ma wuza? nan tize ta Asereti gino me ta bura me?
15 [To illustrate], suppose that fellow believers, either men or women, don’t have enough clothing or food for each day.
Kasi inka uhenu buruma nan uhenu u eh, wazi bihurba wa kuri wa dira imum are ini hiri.
16 And suppose that one of you says to them, “May [God] bless you and supply the clothing and food that you need!” but you [(sg)] do not give them the things that they need. (That would be no help [to them]!/What help is that [to them]?) [RHQ]
Uye a nyimo a shi me, ma gunan we we dusa ni merum, i kunna utum, m itii, da ya nya we imum in tum ba ya wuna uriri ani me?
17 Similarly, [those who do] not do good things [to help others, what they have said about] their believing [in Christ] is [as useless] [MET] [as] a dead person [is useless]. They do not [really believe in Christ].
A ne ani utunoi a tize ta asere sarki wuza ukatuma uwono unice nin.
18 But someone may say [to me], “[God saves] some people only [because] they trust [in him], and [he saves] others [because] they do good deeds [to people].” [I would answer that person], “[You(sg) cannot] prove to me that people truly trust [in God if] they do not do good things [for others]. But by doing good things [for others] I will prove to you that I truly trust [in God”]
U ye madi gu, “huu uziin tize ta Asere, mi izin katuma”, uye madi gu huu uzin tize ta Asere. mi inzin katuma bezum tize ta Asere sarki katuma, mi a hira a katuma kam, mi in bezi we tize ta Asere.
19 [Think about it]! You believe that there is only one God, and you are right [to believe that]. But the demons also believe that, but they tremble [with fear because they know that God is going to punish them].
Hem Asere a indai ani, wuza merum ibe ibur izinu kira.
20 Also, you foolish person, I will [RHQ] prove to you [(sg)] that [if someone says], “I trust [in God],” but he does not do good things, [what that person says] will not benefit him.
Barki anime inka da rusa ba, unu ubur, tize ta Asere sarki katuma uhuna unice nini.
21 (It was certainly [because of] what our [revered] ancestor Abraham did, when he [prepared to] sacrifice his son Isaac, that he was considered [by God] {that [God] considered him} to be a righteous, [obedient] person./Was it not [because of] what our [revered] ancestor Abraham did, when he [prepared to] sacrifice his son Isaac, that he was considered [by God] {that [God] considered him} to be a righteous, [obedient] person?) [RHQ]
A zo a hira a katuma kaco uruu Ibrahim sa wa witti Ishaku vana umeme ma nya uwito unice? I
22 You [(sg)] can realize that he was not only trusting [in God], but he was also doing [what God told him to do], and [you(sg) can realize] that he was able to trust [in God more] completely because of having done [what God told him to do].
rani tize ta Asere ta wuza ta wuza katuma, a hira katuma unya iriba wa mgwinca.
23 And [so it happened as it is written in the] Scriptures: “Because Abraham truly trusted in God, he was considered [by God] to be {[God] considered that he was} righteous.” And [God also] said [about Abraham], “He is my friend.”
Tize ta Asere ta mgwinca, tige sa ta guna,” Ibrahim ma hem na Asere, abassa ani me kadura ahira meme, a guna me uroni wa Asere.
24 [From the example of Abraham], you can realize that it is because people do good things that [God] considers them to be righteous, and not only because they trust [in him].
Irani a hira katuma kani kani nonzo unu, azo ugongon ba.
25 Similarly, it was certainly [RHQ] [because of] what Rahab did, that [God] considered her to be a righteous, [obedient] person. Rahab was [previously] a prostitute, but she cared for the Israelite men who came [to] ([spy out the land/see what that area was like]) and she [helped them to escape by] sending them home on a different road [from the one that they came on].
A hira unu ugino uni, Rahap unee utara ahana ruma makem ukaba barki katuma ka meme, sa ma kabi agenu anu ghunguzuno umanyanga ma suso we a ure unaa ba?
26 Remember that when our spirits [permanently leave our] bodies, [our bodies] are dead [and useless]. Similarly [SIM], [if someone says], “I trust [in God],” but does not do [things to help others, what that person says about trusting in God] is useless.
Kasi nipum sarki bibe ba Asere ikizi ini, ane aniugongon sarki katuma ikizi ini.
